Enable Pax Exam 4.14.0 in oak-store-composite and upgrade the parent-managed Sling Testing PaxExam dependency to 4.1.2. The upgraded test support uses the TinyBundles API required by Pax Exam, so the composite tests can keep inheriting Sling's TestSupport.

Use SPI Fly 1.3.8 for Java 25 compatibility. Its newer ASM avoids the Unsupported class file major version 69 failure during framework startup. The composite tests override Sling's framework-extension version; oak-it-osgi retains the normal dynamic bundle with ASM 9.10.1 so its existing bundle-state assertions remain intact.

Validation:

• Actual Java 17, 21 and 25: 55 composite unit tests, both composite integration tests, and all 14 OSGi integration test results pass per JDK.
• The Elasticsearch unit test is skipped without Docker; the two Elasticsearch-dependent integration scenarios are not exercised without an Elasticsearch connection.
• RAT and the composite OSGi baseline checks pass. Existing assertions are unchanged.

Tracking: OAK-12022 includes the upgrade and Java verification scope consolidated from OAK-12492, now closed as a duplicate. Supersedes #3247.
